NGH, as you know, makes engines with unique features and in unique sizes. The GT9 is definitely one of these products that the assigned distributors would very much like to sell if they were allowed to make some money on it. If the distributors won't carry the engine because of NGH's new marketing philosophies, it makes little sense to buy the thing from a non-servicing mass marketer. I do some business with Hobbyking and do find them an economical source for many things - but, one thing they can't and won't do is service and/or diagnose engine problems.

Yes, NGH does make a pretty full line of engines these days. I have a particular interest in the new 38cc 4 stroke, but my distributor tells me that he hasn't been allowed even a sample of it and has no idea when [or if] he'll have any to sell. Frustrating....[]
